Post Mission Trip Post

Wow my trip to Tijuana was amazing. Here are the wonderful things I saw in chronological order, there are a bunch of them.

Thursday:
I led an evangelism team that had very little Spanish between us. One of the first people we saw was an old lady sitting down with a cane beside her. We communicated that we wanted to pray for her and eventually found out that the pain was in her knees. We prayed and asked her to stand and all the pain left! Then we asked if she had any other pain that we could pray for, she had some in her head, but after we prayed that left too! After her we encountered a women who had pain in her toe, and 8 on the scale from 1-10. We prayed for her and she was instantly healed! She was so surprised it was hilarious, she kept walking back and forth testing it out. As we were walking back to the church that was having a meeting that night a guy hailed us in English to go talk to him. He was not interested in us praying for him or anything like that, he just wanted to talk and give us advice. It felt like a waste of time but I felt that God was wanting us to stay so we stayed for 30-45 minutes talking with him. While that was happening another guy came over who also spoke English. He was okay with prayer so I prayed and God healed his back. We invited both of them to the service that night and went back to church. That night, to my surprise, both of them came. The guy who liked to talk, Daniel, came to tell us how much of an effect we had on him because of our love and friendship. He gave us his address and phone # and asked us to contact him. The guy who got his back healed, Alex, came to me specifically and told me that he had been so impacted that God would heal his back, and keep it healed, that he gave his heart to Jesus. I gave him my phone # and email address and as soon as he gets back into the states he will contact me to find a good church that is near him.

Friday:
Presented the drama, "Set Me Free" by casting crowns in church. During ministry time a friend of mine prayed for a lady with breast cancer and in began to get quite hot and dissolve. A guy's foot got healed of something. I prayed for a man with metal plates in his legs and I am believing that he got healed, he could not check it out at that time. A lot of people got touched that night.

Saturday:
In the evening we went to pedestrian only street named Revolution Street. We had people on a stage doing music and dance and preaching stuff. When I was not dancing or doing a drama on stage some friends and I went around praying for people. A couple people got saved, backs and legs got healed. One lady had recently had brain surgery to remove brain tumours. She got completely healed after falling into a trance and seeing Jesus. Her husband got healed of a herniated testicle. So much happened that night, God showed up hardcore.

Sunday:
At church that morning I helped out with kids ministry. I taught the kids on healing, there were two that were 'sick,' a little boy had a hurt thumb and a girl had trouble breathing for some reason. After teaching them that Jesus healed because He loved them so much and that they can pray very simply to see Him do it I let the kids pray for each other and both of the 'sick' kids got healed!

Monday:
Monday morning we left Tijuana to go back home, we stopped in Orange County for one last service that night. At the service, among other things, a man who had been trapped in a wheel chair for more than a year and required others to feed him jumped up by the power of God and ran around the building. Amazing.
